The Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar on Monday morning published further details about the dramatic assassination of a high-ranking Islamic Jihad terrorist near Damascus on Sunday.
According to the report, Ali Ramzi al-Aswad, 31, who was called the “engineer commander” of Islamic Jihad, was hit by 10 out of 30 bullets shot by the assassins and was also stabbed – to ensure his death.
According to investigators quoted by the report, the assassins used armor-piercing bullets in light of the possibility that al-Aswad would be inside an armored vehicle or wearing a bullet-proof vest at the time of the elimination.
The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad group, announced on Sunday that al-Aswad was killed Sunday morning in the Damascus countryside in a “cowardly assassination with bullets bearing the fingerprints of the Zionist enemy,” referring to Israel.

Stabbed him 10 times? He got away easy.
The killer gets paid only if he’s dead. Not mortally wounded
if only 10 out of 30 bullets hit him, it clearly wasn’t carried out by the mossad. and if they were close enough to stab him, a shot to the head would have been more certain. this sounds much more like a revenge killing by his arab friends.
Did they pass out sweets and find drinks to at least a minyon 10 people??
really…..stop killing our people__stop the Anti semitism…hatred…..over 3000 years of this
Such a shame. 29 bullets were wasted. They could have eliminated another 29 terrorists.
